This is really something different to anything you'll have heard before. Recorded in 1932, it features 19 of Columbia's greatest recording artists...and the only known recording of Len Fillis' voice. Featuring:
Norman Long, Jack Payne (Intro & speaking), Albert Sandler, Harry Tate, Raymond Newell (song), Flotsam & Jetsam (song), Trevor Watkin (song), Binnie Hale (speaking & song with Billy Mayerl), Layton & Johnstone (song), Debroy Somers (speaking & song), Billy Mayerl (speaking & piano solo), Len Fillis, Stanley Holloway, Will Fyffe (speaking & song) & Harry Dearth (song)
Part 2 briefly features Len Fillis playing a few bars of Blues guitar. Many of the featured artists - including Len Fillis - sing / speak their own names in the chorus of "Uncle Tom Cobleigh And All" at the end
Great vid! I just saw Flotsam & Jetsam in a Tod Slaughter movie last weekend!
